To all whom it may concern,.-

Be it known that We, J. W. HARRIS and STEPHEN HARRIS, of Saltillo, in the county of Lee and State of Mississippi, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plows; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and eXact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specication.

Having thus described our invention, weI
